I have the car right now, but I'm dropping it off at Automaster today for it's final tune next week. I do not have any vids as of yet, but when I get back I will surely do a nice vid. At idle, you can hardly tell I have cams.....the idle is rock solid. At full throttle, you can hardly hear yourself over the whine of the turbo and the wastegate and blowoff valve going off.
